Hi,

I followed the recipe in the intro.htm that opens automatically when I create a new Guidance Package - but when I try to register the package - I get the following message:

An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe Register.
Error was: Action Register failed to execute:
Faileed to process package. See the Guidance Package Deployment output window
for more information about the error..
You can remove the reference to this recipe through the Guidance Package.

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe Register. Error was: Action Register failed to execute:
Failed to process package. See the Guidance Package Development output window for more information about the error..
You can remove the reference to this recipe through the Guidance Package Manager. ---> System.Configuration.Install.InstallException: Failed to process package. See the Guidance Package Development output window for more information about the error.

Anyone who have a clue of what I'm doing wrong? I've got the RTM of VS2k5 and the latest GAT release.

The solution to the problem above was simple: When I added the package, I gave it a name with a space in it; "GoF Patterns". Apparently, the registration process doesn't eat spaces...

I'm having the exact same problem, but my package name doesn't have any spaces, nor the path to the project (I put it in C:\).

Do you have any ideas about why it might be happening?


Thank you.

I have the same issue. I just installed the Feb 2008 release (never installed any other versions)

When I go to create new project and choose new Guidance Package and click ok I get the error.


I am running Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Any ideas?

for more information about the error..
